But first, about action and how Mercury, the planet of communication, enters the zodiac sign Sagittarius and impacts all signs of the zodiac. To be blunt, it matters. There's going to be a lot of independent thinking going on.

Better get used to raw honesty to the highest degree for the next two weeks. When Mercury's communication is in this fire sign, that's what you will get. Sagittarius holds very little back, and if you ask a question that you weren't prepared for the real answer to, don't be upset. Sagittarius has no problem telling you what they think.

Often, they are considered to be independent, but that's too bland and lackluster of a description for this energy. They have mastered being unattached to things that everyone else fusses about and it's that distance that gives them perspective. If you don't like it, no problem. They will find someone else who does, and no — they won't think of you when they are about their own business.

In communication, this means that you can have a real talk with others. It's time for transparency in conversation, but also realize with the Sun in Scorpio, someone is likely to notice if you're not being transparent. The lesson for zodiac signs is: say what you mean and mean what you say — or else, you may be called out on it.

Here's what's happening with the planets that impact the astrological energy of all zodiac signs:

Here's how these astrological and planetary energies come together:

MARS is in LIBRA. Let's face it. We all have a reason why we do the things we do. While Mars rules Aries, it's in the sign of Libra. Libra brings out the balance in Aries. Where Aries says, "I want it my way," Libra is asking, "But what about everyone else." For this reason, all signs will pay attention to how their action affects others.

Conscious/Subconscious:

The MOON will be making its way through TAURUS into LEO. The Bull brings his grounded energy but things change hands into creative Gemini. By the time the Moon enters Leo, everyone is ready to take action but with greater determination than ever.

In love, sex and relationships:

VENUS enters SCORPIO. Love is revealed and takes on sentimental meaning but not without some careful forethought beforehand. Relationships that start at this time will be deeply romantic and sensual.

Health, Spirituality, and Self:

SATURN, which influences karma, is in SAGITTARIUS. Self-reflect. What are your needs? Talk about them. Don't be shy. If you've been feeling like you need to speak up, go ahead and do so.

Check out your zodiac sign below to see predictions from your weekly horoscope from November 5th - 11th, 2017.

ARIES (March 21 - April 19)

Aries, you have a knack for communication. Okay, you're totally gifted. The only that makes your communication more threatening at times than other zodiac signs is your ability to sway others to your side of the conversation. You know how to add sexual tension when necessary, not to mention a few intellectually targeted arguments complete with facts, details, and descriptions.

This week, expect that you will be more forthright about what you want, but not without some reservedness to help buffer the impact. Test the waters before putting your entire ideas on the line. Listen, take notes. Most importantly, sleep on whatever decisions you need to make that are life-changing. Although you might not like being held accountable by others when it comes to time management, it can't hurt you to set alarms on your planner so you're not late to that next meeting.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)

Taurus, when it comes to dreaming big, you love a fantasy. You are all about the sensual pleasures in life, but you're also not afraid to work hard to get them. This week, expect to be driven by your wants and desires. You may be tempted to communicate in a negative way to get what you want, but don't. The words you speak (including your mental talk) can draw you unwanted attention.

Instead, look for ways to unify yourself with your big dreams. If that includes love or an escape, then proclaim it and say, "This is what I want."

GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)

Gemini, you have a sweet side and a not-so-sweet side. You know how to build people up but should they cross you in the wrong way — oh, boy! You have no problems making sure they know their place.

This week, expect to be goal oriented, driven and focused, but with that, you will have an awareness of what you need to cut out of your life. For certain, that won't be caffeine. However, you may feel a bit divided between what you want to achieve and the need for downtime. Be sure to schedule time for both. If you plan events with others where you have to go out to meet at a restaurant for appetizers during Happy Hour, you'll not miss winding down after a long, hard day.

CANCER (June 21 - July 22)

Cancer, those who know you not only love you, they ADORE you. You can be kind, sweet, caring. Then there's the other side of you that can be a hardworking bada** on a mission to rule the world. Remember that as you go about this week.

With all the chatter going on in zodiac signs, other's bluntness may seem harsh. It's not personal. It's okay to retreat, but don't go inside yourself. Instead, get into nature. Take a walk, go for a spin class, or maybe even plan a mini-vacation. I bet you have some time off you've not used! Whatever you do, don't hold a grudge.

LEO (July 23 - August 22)

Leo, prepare to get your ego stroked this week. The more clear and direct conversation is around you, the more you like it. There's no thin skin here, Leo. With all cards on the table, you are free to make decisions. Take matters into your own hands and get what you want.

Of course, what you want and need can become a bit blurry at times. If you want a new look, you might need to change your hair color. If you want a new sense of freedom, you might need to go out for the night.

VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)

Virgo, you love knowing what's on the agenda, and a surprise or two can get a pass as long as you are able to decide the when and where. This week, there will be fewer surprises when it comes to who to trust, who to hang out with, or who is interested in you. Your instincts will let you know when someone is stepping on your toes.

Just make sure to include your self-care this week. Get your nails done, your hair flattened (if that's your thing), and be glamorous. As much as you're down to earth, you also love to glam to show your powerful and pretty side.

LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)

Libra, there's work to be done this week. With people being blunt and creating all kinds of new energy, you might wonder why is everyone so angry. You can help by remaining your balanced self. Make phone calls and send out funny memes to your best friends. Be the soulful supportive person you are able to be. There is even room for you to open up about your latest heartbreak if that's the case. You know how to put a funny spin even to your own sadness to make everyone laugh and cry at the same time.

SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)

Scorpio, you sure are a game-changer this month, and this week is no different. As Scorpio season continues, your energy is full of potential. You can use your story to help others learn about their lives or, if you're not ready to open up, there's plenty of work to do at home. Keep your mind occupied and your hands busy. You'll get your most creative and crafty ideas as you work.

It's good to note that others may find something about you extra attractive this week. Perhaps it will be your sense of inner confidence or the strength from lessons well learned.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)

Sagittarius, some meet your philosophical ways and challenge to the world with resistance. Not everyone is ready for what you need to say or what they must hear. Don't let it get you down. Work out your energy at the gym. If you are into action and adventure, hit up the latest movies on Netflix. Be social. Go out with friends and enjoy the conversation. With Mercury in your sign, there's going to be a lot of things for you to learn this week.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)

Capricorn, although you're not flashy (nor are you a humblebragger), you are fierce inside and out. Your mental focus and inner strength increase this week but so does your ability to communicate with others. Whatever you have to address that requires a bit of thoughtfulness and problem solving, you'll want to add that to your list first. Then, once you've gotten the tough stuff out of the way, take time to dream. Dream big about your future. Put on your favorite music. Create a dream board and put it into a fabulous frame in front of your bed to look at it first thing in the morning. You got this!

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarius, you are flexible. When someone says something that's slightly off-point, you might laugh and nicely set that person straight. There's a lot to be said for someone who knows how to use tact and humor when trying to keep a conversation and focus on the same page.

While you go about your week, add color to your life. If your vanity is looking dull, get some fancy colored decorations so you can see pops of color while you chat on the phone with your friends. Pull out your favorite outfits and add glitter to your make up. You shine, so why shouldn't everything else?

PISCES (February 19 - March 20)

Pisces, sweet, soulful, Pisces. You are such a good spirit. When people need an attentive ear, you are there to listen and learn. You may get an earful this week and this can create an emotional overload. There are lots of good things to do to remove the negativity out of your life. Get a pedicure, pay the extra few dollars for the extended foot massage. Love water? Can you go swimming in an indoor pool? Go for it! Why not take an extra long bubble bath? Play music. Drink champagne. Celebrate the good as much as possible.
